118: Chapter 118 Director Xu, I Love You!

Ding Meixin cried her heart out, her delicate and beautiful face drenched in tears.

She had long fallen in love with Xu Qianli.

When the mountain collapsed and she was buried in the dirt, hopeless, it was Xu Qianli—his fingers bleeding—who dug her out.

It was also Xu Qianli who braved the dangers of the night, trekking over ten miles of mountain roads to take her to the hospital for treatment.

From that moment on, she fell in love with Xu Qianli, with all her heart, this man who had saved her life.

In the following years, Ding Meixin studied hard, got into university, and entered campus life.

With her beauty, she became the sensation of the entire campus, with countless suitors, yet she never gave anyone a chance, because deep down, she had decided that she would marry no one but Xu Qianli.

Even if she couldn’t marry Xu Qianli, she wouldn’t give any other man a chance.

It wasn’t just out of gratitude to Xu Qianli and a desire to repay his kindness, but also because she had truly fallen in love with this man.

Over the years, Ding Meixin always kept an eye on Xu Qianli’s movements, aware that he had been steadily climbing the ranks: becoming the Secretary to the old County Magistrate, the Government Office Director, and Jiang City’s youngest Department-level cadre, enjoying limitless glory.

She genuinely rejoiced for Xu Qianli’s success, but she also felt lost and helpless.

After all, she knew that with Xu Qianli’s status, he was completely out of her reach; she had no right to fall in love with him.

Moreover, Xu Qianli already had a girlfriend, the star of the County Dance Troupe, the famously beautiful Xu Shuman from Jiang City.

Ding Meixin had secretly watched the Dance Troupe’s performance, and Xu Shuman’s solo dance had dazzled her.

She knew she could not win, that it was impossible for her to win over that woman, so she could only keep her burning love hidden deep within her heart, letting no one know.

A few days ago, the Principal of Qingshan Town Middle School wanted to meet with Deputy County Magistrate Sun Yan in the County Government.

She did not hesitate to agree to help, just because visiting the County Government might give her a chance to see Xu Qianli, the man she loved so desperately.

Upon arriving at the County Government, Ding Meixin learned that Xu Qianli had not been faring well lately, with career troubles and a breakup with his girlfriend Xu Shuman, which tormented her deeply.

To her surprise, Sun Yan approached her with the idea of matchmaking her with Xu Qianli, suggesting her as Xu Qianli’s new girlfriend.

However, Sun Yan also informed her that Xu Qianli was in a tough situation, with an unclear future, and asked her to think it over.

Instantly, Ding Meixin’s heart blossomed with joy, and she immediately accepted the proposal.

She didn’t care about Xu Qianli’s career; even if Xu Qianli was down on his luck or disabled, she would still want to be with him.

Yesterday was finally the day of the blind date.

She dressed up beautifully, wearing her favorite dress to meet Xu Qianli, and mustered all her courage to stand in front of the man she loved.

Afterward, she cast aside her shame and pride and offered her virginity to Xu Qianli, taking the initiative to become his woman.

But she also knew that with her status, she was not worthy of Xu Qianli.

She feared that he would not want her, afraid he might just play around and then let her go.

Now, receiving Xu Qianli’s reply, she was so moved, so overwhelmed, that she cried uncontrollably and couldn’t stop no matter how hard she tried.

Ding Meixin continued to cry endlessly.

Xu Qianli wanted to comfort her but didn’t know how to do so.

So he simply let her cry it out, while driving her to Qingshan Town Middle School.

Finally, they reached the urban area of Qingshan Town.

Calling it an urban area, it was really just the houses along the main road that looked somewhat decent—behind them were all low-rise residential houses.

The most impressive and grandiose feature of Qingshan Town was the newly completed Government Complex building.

Four stories high, fifty to sixty meters long, truly majestic and imposing.

The Town Middle School, however, left much to be desired—rows of red brick buildings, classrooms in the front, and a courtyard at the back with teachers’ dormitories.

By the time the car reached the middle school, Ding Meixin had stopped crying.

She wiped her teary face, and after venting her grievances, all that remained was sweetness and happiness.

She clung to Xu Qianli’s arm, not letting go, leaning half into his embrace with her fragrant body.

Xu Qianli frowned as he looked at the situation of the middle school.

The environment was far from being simply “poor.”

“Meixin, let’s discuss something.

How about I ask Sister Sun Yan for a favor and get you transferred to the county?”

Xu Qianli was on very good terms with Sun Yan, and it was she who had introduced Ding Meixin, so it was merely a matter of a word from him to arrange for her transfer to the county.

But, well, he still had to consider Ding Meixin’s own thoughts on the matter.

Hearing this, Ding Meixin shook her head without a second thought.

“No way, you have to see things through in life.

The term for the kids I’m currently teaching isn’t over yet.

It would be too regrettable to leave them now.”

“Besides, I think since we’ve just started, it’s best to maintain some distance and not be glued to each other every day, otherwise it might affect your work.”

“And I’m a bit scared of you, after all, you know your own capabilities.”

As she spoke, Ding Meixin’s pretty face turned red, and she couldn’t help recalling the effort it had taken to deal with Xu Qianli at the movie theater the day before.

Seeing Ding Meixin’s bashful expression, Xu Qianli’s vanity was greatly satisfied, and he gave her a smile.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be gentler with you from now on.”

“It’s getting late, Meixin, how about you don’t go back to the dormitory tonight?

Let’s find a hotel and stay there for the night.”

After all, after this separation, it would be five days apart.

Xu Qianli had just noticed a small hotel on the street that seemed quite suitable.

Ding Meixin’s beautiful head shook like a rattle-drum, “No, I’m still sore.

Please spare me, Director Xu.

If you really want to, go back and find my cousin.

Bully her instead.”

Xu Qianli scratched his head, “You knew?”

Ding Meixin stretched out her arms, hooking them around Xu Qianli’s neck, speaking softly and tenderly.

“I’m not stupid.

The way you and she look at each other, nothing can be hidden, of course I can tell.”

“But don’t worry, I haven’t let on to my cousin, I’ve acted as if I know nothing.”

“And I won’t interfere with you two.”

“Just remember, I am your girlfriend, and the person you’re going to marry is me, Ding Meixin!”

With that, Ding Meixin suddenly moved in and willingly kissed Xu Qianli.

After the kiss, she opened the car door, picked up the gifts Xu Qianli had bought her, and quickly entered the school, heading straight for the dormitory.

Xu Qianli foolishly watched Ding Meixin’s figure vanish, realizing that his new girlfriend’s intelligence far exceeded his expectations.

Indeed, he couldn’t hide anything from her.

Not long after Ding Meixin had left, suddenly a few people gathered around, surrounding Xu Qianli’s car.

Among them, a middle-aged man with an exceedingly stern face stared at Xu Qianli with an intense gaze.

“Get out of the car, you little punk!

Tell me what exactly is your relationship with my daughter?”

Daughter?

Xu Qianli shuddered instantly, staring at the man as if he had seen a ghost.

According to Ding Meixin, she was an orphan, adopted at a young age by foster parents, with her foster father already passed away.

How could a man suddenly appear out of nowhere, claiming to be Ding Meixin’s father?
